Preliminary Study for Detection of Hydrogen Peroxide Using a Hydroxyethyl Cellulose Membrane

High concentration of biogenic amines (BA) is an indicator of deterioration of food and the determination of their concentration is an important method of food control. The hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) is a side product of the degradation of BAs by certain e...
